When folks typically think of Pensacola Beach, sandy beaches and warm emerald waters pop into their head. However, our city offers locals and visitors alike so much more than that! We are home to a phenomenally fragile, diverse, and vast ecosystem harboring incredible wildlife and flora. The Pensacola Beach Footprints in Sand Eco Trail is your starting point for learning all about the plants and creatures that we call our neighbors. It is up to us, as capable humans, to protect our planet’s flora and fauna. We should only be leaving our literal footprints throughout Pensacola Beach and nothing else, like litter or invasive organisms.
